3.3- Specific Safety Instructions for sanders
1- This power tool is intended to function as a tool for sanding and polishing operations. Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this tool.
Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2- This power tool is not recommended nor intended for cut-off operations.
Operations for which the
tool is not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3- Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool’s
manufacturer.
It is not
because an accessory can be attached to your tool; that it can assure safe
operation.
4- The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
Accessories operated faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
5- The dimensions and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
6- Only use power tool for dry works.
Water entering power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
7- Do not use damaged accessories.
Before each use, inspect the accessories such as abrasive paper for chips and cracks, sanding pads for
cracks, tears or excess wear.
If tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.
8- Wear personal protective equipment.
According to your application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As deemed appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9- Keep bystanders at a safe distance away from the working area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10- Always position the power cord clear of the moving accessory.
Should you lose control of the tool,
the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
11- Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
12- Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
13- Warning! Fire hazard! Avoid workpiece and/or power tool overheating.
Always empty the dust collection bag before taking a work break. Dust particles in the dust bag, micro filter,
paper bag (or in the fabric dust bag or vacuum cleaner filter) may ignite on their own under unfavorable
conditions, e.g. projection of sparks when sanding metal parts, in particular when the dust particles are
mixed with residues of varnish, polyurethane or other chemical substances and the workpieces become very
hot after a long period of work.
